"You use all the avenues to add players to your team – you watch the waiver wire, you inquire about trade possibilities, you take guys off the street, you snag guys off someone else's practice squad," Gettleman said. "You have to build through the draft – you have to. You have to raise your own, and then you fill in with unrestricted free agents.

Honestly, almost all the 2nd tier FA that could help us are gone. This FA has moved faster then others from the past few years, it's not just the Mike Wallace's that got signed the first few days, Phillips and Canty are already gone. We are fugged.

I really hope you are being sarcastic, but your tone in your message says you serious. I guess we may as well pack it up and forfeit all our games next season. Sigh......

Everyone knows championship are built through Free Agency

Guess Gettleman needs to panic and follow the motto of this thread.

I am serious, because this is the same story we've heard for years and years now, and where are we? As our fanbase gets more and more bitter, how do you think the players feel? Players take paycuts/less pay etc to play on teams with a chance to win, not on a team that's always "building". We are becoming the Bobcats of the NFL.

There are 450 free agents..which why the Drayton Florence signing is puzzling to me.

I wonder if Gettleman just found a really old draft guide and thought Florence was a sought after cb.

Seriously..there will be still big names after this inital rush..and yes it would be nice to secure the guy and a name..but gotta understand the position the cap is in and all we are probally offering is 1 year contracts to maintain the cap flexibility next season.
